Convenient location, amazing spring-fed pool
It sits on the edge of the Davis Mountains (elev. a little over 3,200′) about 7 miles south of I-10 on Texas 17. We've stayed here three times and will do so again because of its location. When traveling between New Mexico and Coastal Bend of Texas, this is the first state park after El Paso and like a beacon in the night. The campground features 34 campsites. Ours, with electricity and water, was $14. (We purchased a Texas State Parks Annual Pass for $70, so the $7/person/day was waived.) We've stayed during an unusual snow storm in our camper and high winds in our 5th wheel. Showers are lousy (30-second push type) especially if the weather is chilly water does not warm up.

It pays to have a Texas state parks pass that covers the days use fee. This is a nice park because of the large artesian spring pool. The water is crystal clear, inhabited by a variety of aquatic life, and maintains a temperature of 72-76 degrees. It's got a high-dive, but is also a popular place for snorkeling or scuba diving. Large, decent-enough campground, but not very clean when we were here. Desert environment.

We stayed one night in our motorhome while returned from a FMCA convention. It was nice to be here with the jacks on the ground when the wind really picked up!! We did not get to spend as much time as we would like here and were not able to get out and really enjoy this park due to the windstorm. This was on the same day that an 18 wheeler was overturned in El Paso. We really loved the scenery from the comfort of our motorhome and plan to return to get up close and personal for several days. The cable TV was a nice amenity since we were unable to get out.
